Lots of dog owners will walk their dogs on the roadways if there isn’t a sidewalk available. Roadways may include streets in neighborhoods, small-town roads, or even busy highways. It’s best if you do not walk your dog on a busy road whether it’s small town, rural, or in a busy city. Cars, cyclists, and others use the roadway may not see you. It’s also best to avoid winding roads or roadways with hills as there’s less visibility. Consider driving a short distance to a place where you can walk your dog on a sidewalk, trail or in a dog safe area. If you do walk on the roadway with your pup, walk against traffic. Wear visible clothing. Keep your dog close. Use a reflective leash and harness. Your vet Roanoke, VA may suggest walking at the least active times of the day for traffic.
